Why the conviction moved

• Oct 11
  Strengthened +2

  Pitt's ARPA-H wheelchair pairs a robotic arm with Meta's open DINO and SAM models running on the device. This is the assistive-robotics side of the thesis, in a federally funded program.

• Oct 11
  Strengthened +2

  The Berkeley Lab-led SYNAPS-I project runs fine-tuned SAM 3 and DINOv3 on 300 A100 GPUs across national lab sites under the Genesis Mission, cutting analysis from a month to 15 minutes. It starts with drought tracking in grapevine micro-CT scans, which extends the use of open vision models in national lab science.

• Oct 10
  Strengthened +3

  AI Weekly reports that four Department of Energy laboratories fine-tuned Meta's open-weight SAM 3 and DINOv3 for the Genesis Mission's SYNAPS-I pipeline on 300 A100s, cutting a month of manual X-ray segmentation to about 15 minutes. The work is spreading beyond Berkeley Lab to a multi-lab production pipeline.
